The฀ medium฀ weight฀ saber฀ we฀are฀offering฀here฀฀possesses฀ excellent฀ cutting฀ and฀ slashing฀ capabilities฀ yet฀ still฀ remains฀ useful฀for฀a฀thrust. In฀ appearance,฀ it฀ very฀ closely฀ resembles฀ the฀ U.S.฀ 1860฀ Light฀ Cavalry฀ Saber,฀ but฀in฀actuality฀is฀a฀far฀more฀ effective฀ and฀ durable฀ weapon.฀ ฀ The฀ moderately฀ curved฀ blade฀ is฀ forged฀ out฀ of฀ 1055฀ Carbon฀ Steel฀ and฀ features฀ a฀ long,฀ wide฀ fuller฀ and฀ a฀ very฀ sharp,฀practical฀point.฀฀ The฀ grip฀ is฀ equally฀ well฀ made.฀ ฀ It’s฀ wrapped฀ in฀ black฀ leather฀ and฀ strongly฀ protected฀ by฀ a฀ stout,฀ brass฀ three฀ bar฀ hilt.฀ The฀ whole฀ package฀ comes฀ with฀ a฀ heavy฀ duty฀ polished฀ steel฀ scabbard฀ with฀ dual฀ rings฀ so฀ it฀ can฀ be฀ easily฀attached฀to฀your฀baldric฀ or฀sword฀belt.

The฀ cavalry฀ saber,฀ with฀ its฀ long,฀ curved,฀ light฀ blade,฀ reached฀ an฀ incomparable฀ level฀ of฀popularity฀during฀the฀Napoleonic฀wars.฀An฀ eficient฀weapon฀of฀war฀with฀somewhat฀heroic฀ overtones,฀it฀was฀used฀by฀oficers฀on฀foot฀as฀well฀ as฀troopers฀mounted฀on฀horseback.
